Saving Vegetable Seeds.

If there are as many varieties Of the
"ame vegetable in garden, it is inn
possible to save the seeds of some in an
unmixed state. Sweet corn and all of
the squash family, are quite sure to
mix" On the other hand, peas and
beans rarely cross. If one saves seeds
Of any vegetables, let it be of the best
Instead of leaving the last peas on the
vines for seed, set apart a portion of a
row for seed, and let none be picked
from it. By proper care, the quality of
a vegetable may be improved. In saw
ing lima beans, we have for several years
selected only those with four beans in
the pod ; as consequence the greater
number of pods in the whole crop now
have four beans. The selection of the
first Tipened and best formed tomatoes
for seed will have a marked effect upon
future crops, and this is the case with
all other vegetables.

TIE Importance OF thoroughly decom-
losing the mII.ure in winter Tor use ln
lie spring is shown in the labor OF haul
srg and haLdling it. The greater h.
bulk the more labor required, and thai,
l,,o. without really adding a larger pro
: ortiOn Of fertilizing material to The
soil. As manure cannot benefit plants
unless some portions be soluble or in a
hne condition, So Is to be readily acted
upon by the air. moisture, frost and
warmth. il may be observed that The
more complete the work o. reducing
3 he manure in the heap the shorter the
me required for its disintegrstiOn IL
he soil. When a large mass of bulky
material is handled and hauled to the
fields the farmer not only sustains loss
In the incOnvenienCa of handling the
coarse litter, as well as placing it on tb-
ground IN an unfit condition for bis
purpose, but he also handles and hauls
q large quantity of water, which exists
not only in the composition Of the ma
Uerial but also by reason OF being
,0sorbed. AS spring is very busy
peIiOd with the farmer, his creates
deGire at that time is 10 save labor, ye-
he OverloOks the fact that much of the
labor of hauling and distributing ma
uuTe could be lessened by properly
managing the heap during the winter
months, when work to be done is not so
pressing as at other times. 1t is not the
bulky mass that feeds the plants, but
ihe ferti!iZlng matter contained there
in. No correct estimates of manuTlai
value can be given, but, accepting the
average cord of manure TO be 45OO
pounds. the farmer will haul 5000 pounds
of water and nearly 800 pounds OF silica
IN order to put upon his soil about y
pounds of nitrogen, 10 pounds OF mag
npsie, % pounds Of potash and q pounds
IT phosphoric acid, which are the real
materials he is hauling, much OF the
remainder being of but little value. Il
he can by properly managing the ma
uure heap reduce the bulk, he may not
add anything of additional value, but
he will have reduced the labor required
tor handling and hauling the manure,
while The fine condition of the material
VIII be favorable for the rapid appro-
prIatiOn of the plant food by the crops.
Every farmer who has undergone the
dsagreeable task of handling partially
decomposed cOrEstalks, when hauling
manure, can easily make d comparison
with such by the side of thoroughly de
composed fine compost, and it is far
better to have all this work done in the
barn-yaTd than to place the manure on
the field and wait until it shall be done
tJI him.
In sowing clover for pasture it is de-
sirable to mix the alsike, red and white
c:OveTs, and the kind best adapted to
he land will probably take possession
IN few years. A variety of grasses is
always desirable in pasture. Some
farmers who have plenty of pasture land
are adopting the plan of sowing the
seeds of timonhy, blue grass, orchard
grass and the d d;ffeIent clOvers separately,
giving each kind its own space, 80 as to
permit the cows to select the grasses
preferred. It has been demonstrated
that each individual will prefer certain
grasses, and that tie herd will separate
over the entire pasture.

A Brace Of Untrufhs.

The town LOT Spectators OF Great Falls,
not satisfied with tie rich and promising
valley of Chestnut and the fine belt lying
along the mountains to the Fergus county
line. but want to come within 2o miles OF
the Springs and take in the mines OF Mel
hart, which are fully 70 miles from Great
Falls, the proposed county seat OF the new
county as the crow iiies-Hasbaednaa
Now, no one knows better than the VIII
ter that the above is a lie, pure and SIM
pie. and does not contain one truthful sen
tence nor anything like near approach to
one. Such thing as extending the line
of the new county to within % miles OF the
Springs, is too preposterous for any. sane
person to burden their minds with for a
moment. SO far as the mining camp OF
Neihart is concerned, we have not asked
for it, and do not intend to, but if the SEN
timent of the residents therein was con
suited. there would be a large majority IN
favor of coming into the proposed new
county.
Great Falls magnets are gathering at
Helena to lobby for their new county
scheme which is being demonstrated
against almost unanimously by the people
Of Meagher -Husbandma1s.
We emphatically deny that any "Great
Falls magnates" have been, are, or will be
gathered at Helena to lobby for their new
county, This measure was placed be
fore the people residing within radius of
from 20 to 30 miles of Great Falls, and
was met with enthusiasm on all sides, as
the petition now before the legislature,
containing nearly 700 names, nearly one
half of whom reside in Meagher county,
would demonstrate to anyone but non
compus. The bill stands upon its own
merits, and if the wishes of the people are
consulted, the county will be created,
otherwise it will not.

ED. TRIBUNE:-Will you do the favor to
answer me either privately or through the
columns of your valuable paper these ques-
tions How near Great Falls may good
wheat lands lying convenient for irrigation
be taken up from the government or
beug directly from the r. r. Co? Also
what can good resident lots be bought for
near the business part Of town, and oblige,
S. A. ".
Good wheat lands may be secured under
the several acts of congress relative to the
acquisition of public lands, at a compare
tive short distance from Great Falls.
There is an immense area of land suitable
for wheat growing lying between Great
Falls and the HighWood and Belt noun
tains, distance of thirty and forty miles
respectively. We do not consider irriga-
ton necessary for the successful grow
ing of wheat upon the table lands OF
Northern Montana. The tests made du-
ring the past few years demonstrate that
wheat may be successfully produced ON
these lands four years out of every five.
The present year will note the growing Of
large acreage of wheat upon
these lands table One gentle

Heavy Sheep Losses.

The reports from Wolf creek are to the
effect that losses among sheep have been
unprecedented. One gentleman writes
that if the original number with which
they started are left they are thankful.
This shows loss Of $500 head. Andrew
G. Hay, who, we believe, has the sheep of
the Great Falls Sheep company, has been
the heaviest loser thus far. Other sheep
men have met with serious losses. Camp
bell & Records have recovered portion
of their band which s.rayel away in the
storm of the 1st inst. During the blizzard
of the 18th one band of Bower Bros. es-
capped from the herder and dritted for
twelve miles; other bands wandered six.
eight and ten miles. All owners of sheep
and cattle are looking blue. The losses
of sheep ranging on the Shonkin and Belt
creek have been less than in any other
section, SO far as we can learn-Press.
Andrew G. Hay has none of the sheep
of the Great Falls Sheep company as rep
resented by the RtUer Press.

Gently returned from visit to Montana
He spent considerable time at Great Falls.
The town is located at the. falls of the
Missouri, which furnish the greatest avail
able water power on the continent Within
seven miles of the place there are exten-
sive coal and iron deposits, and immedi-
ately beyond are rich gold, silver, and cop
per mines It is situated in the midst Of
a splendid agricultural and grazing coun-
try, the pineries of the upper Missouri are
tributary to it, and it is expected to be-
come the leading manufacturing city be-
tween Minneapolis and the Pacific and
the railroad center Of Montana. There is
is spring at the falls which Mr. Gohn
says is large enough to supply the City of
New York with water.
Mr.. Gohn thinks Montana if one of the
healthiest conntrys that can be found. The
short time he was there he gained twenty
eight pounds. The air is always good and
pure warm during the day and Geld and
dry at night. He was with his brother,

runs a dairy and truck farm. The market
is good. Butter brings forty cents pound,
eggs thirty-fve cents per dozen, cabbage
three and five cents a pound, potatoes the

there are some bears, deer, panthers, and

Great FaIlst to be a County Seat.

It is to be learned from reliable sources
that the bill now before the legislature in
Helena, creating the county of Cascade,
with Great Falls as county seat is sure to
pass and will take effect in May. Now it
would be an excellent idea for all the gen
tlemen in town to go and see the new
spring samples at C. P. Thomsen's and get
a suit made in time for the laying of the
corner stone of the million dollar court

Not Exactly.

| The unusual severity Of the winter will
probably cause revolution in the methods
of the Montana stockmen. Already the
range industry is rapidly being forsaken.
| Two Of the largest firms in the territory
closed out last week, and half dozen 9th
er cattle firms are preparing to quit. Those
who continue the business are preparin g
to feed, and all are clearing off sagebrush
to make hay lands. 1t is determined to
take no more chances by letting cattle
shift for themselves during the winter
storms, and winter feeding will be the rule
in the future. The general adoption of
this method will make Dakota better
stock country than the hitherto unequaled
Montana ranges insomuch as the cost Of
maintenance will be nearly equal, thus
giving Dakota the advantage of the diff
ference in freight rates. amtstG1t36 (Dah.)
-4lert.
The 4leyt is probabl.s ri ght in its assump-
ton that the severity of the present win
ter will cause a revolution in the range
cattle industry, but so far as Dakota cattle
are concerned they will never equal the
product of Montana. Dakota soil does not
produce the nutritious grasses which make
Montana beef world famed. And further.
Dakota cannot produce beef as cheaply as
Montana. This territory has large area
suitable only for grazing purposes, and on
an average. four winters out OF five, cattle
can safely be ranged, which is not the case
in Dakota. Small herds will probably be
the order of the day from this time for
ward. Preparations will be made to feed
stock should the extingencies require it,
otherwise, they will be ranged during
the entire year, which, under no circum-
stances, can be done in Dakota, owing to the
worthlesseness OF the whites feed. Dakota
winters are at least four months in length,
while here two and half is about the
average. During this period Dakota cat
tie will necessarily have to De fed the en-
tire time: but in Montana, the prevailing
winds and frequent chinooks clear away
the snow and cattle can Craze, a greater
part of the season. This one advantage
alone will preclude Dakota cattle from
ever coming in competition with the pro-
duct of Montana on an equal footing. Not
only this but the natural grasses of Da-
kota, with one or two exceptions are abso-
lutely worthless for cattle In fact Mon
tana steer, even now, in its emi-famished
condition would prefer to lie of starvation
rather than commit suicide by eating the
baled hay of our sister territory. Dakota
may shine as wheat producing country,
but when she goes into stock raising, with
the expectation of competing with Mon
tana, she will get left.

Very Kind.

The Union Pacific railroad has made a
special rate on hay, for the benefit of Mon
tana stockmen, which will last till March
%. From any point in Utah to any point
in Montana IS cents per hundred or 81
per ton, and from Nebraska points so cents
per hundred or $40 per ton. The special
is made owing to the difficulty which
stockmen are experiencing in wintering
cattle and the present high prices demand
ed for hay.
